Four USC seniors who played
their last college football this past
season, will be among those re
porting to the various camps this
summer. Marty Rosen, of Brook
lyn, N. Y., is going to Canada to
play. He was signed immediately
after the 1964 season by J. 1. Al
bright, scout for the Ottawa rough
riders of the Canadian football
league.
Marty's contract involved a
bonus for making the team, and
stipulates that he must play with
them the first year, but next sea
son he is free to go with "whom
ever I please." Rosen, six-foot 195
pound halfback, will report to
camp at Ottawa on July 1. with
about 15 or 16 other American im
ports, and settle down to the seri
OUS business of winning himseif a
place with the Roughriders.
Marty feels that the main ad
justment he must make in switch
ing from college to professional
football is realizing that everybody
Alse is going to be more experi
enced and better than the average
college player. "I've got to stay
healthy and try that much harder,"
he says. Marty was also quick to
point out that competition was
stiffer due to the fact that money
was involved.
Questioned as to the adjustments
he would have to make in going
from American to Canadian foot
ball, Rosen replied wryly, "I hope
that just learning the rules of the
game is the least of my worries."
Among the differences in Ameri
can and Canadian ball is that the
Canadian field is somewhat larger,
12 men are used instead of 11, and
no downfield blocking is permitted.
Marty will join two other ex-ACC
standouts at Ottawa, I i n e m e n
Oscar ThorslandI of Clemson, and
Cole Kortner of North Carolina.
Carolina guard Ed Hertwig will
also be making the trip to Canada.

The cinders have settled and
the shots have been put-away,
that is. The State-Record Relays
seem to have come off well, and
by golly (!), Carolina made a
pretty good showing. But we
don't think it's right to let the
relays get by with all kind words.
Not that the event deserves harsh
criticism, but we have heard some
"suggestions." First, say some,
the high school events should be
separated from the university
events. Then a spectator could
attend either one, or both, and
with less confusion. Second, the
system of posting athletes' prog
ress is inadequate. The broad
jump marker showed only the
best jump, and even that was not
in direct relation to the pit. The
shot was strictly look and guess,
and if Art Swarts hadn't out
flung the rest of the discus en
tries so decisively the leader's
marker would have been impossi
ble to follow. All told, however,
it was a "good show."
Reports on the injury to El
gin Baylor have not been solidi
fied at the time of this writing.
Once the if's and maybe's are
eliminated we should be able to
better forecast the future of one
of the country's truly great
athletes. Or can we? Any in
jury has related effects, even to
